Overview:

The Sociology and Social Work Department offers a major in Sociology, a minor in Sociology and a major in Social Social Work.

SOCIOLOGY:

A major in Sociology gives students the knowledge and skills that provide an excellent foundation for careers in community organizations, business, and government agencies, as well as the grounding for graduate work in sociology or a related field. Students learn how individuals behave in organizations, families, and communities, and develop a sense of the contexts in which social policy decisions are made and carried out. Students also acquire a sense of history and different ways of life.
